Command intelligence 

Command Intelligence predicts relevant CATIA commands based on context and user intent. It reduces time spent searching menus, supports consistent methods, and helps engineers work more efficiently from the start.


Generative constraints*

Generative Constraints automatically analyze sketch geometry and apply appropriate constraints. This reduces manual input, improves sketch robustness, and captures design intent early while supporting engineering standards.


Mechanical prediction* 

Mechanical Prediction analyzes part geometry to identify functional interfaces and predict mechanical relationships. It helps define connections faster, reduces setup time, and minimizes errors during assembly design.

An AI Ready Stack for Digital Engineering

Manufacturers across the Nordics and the Netherlands face the same challenge. They must deliver more innovation with fewer errors, tighter budgets, and strict compliance requirements. Adopting AI in engineering requires more than isolated experiments. It requires a foundation that can scale.

This approach is built on an AI ready stack that connects data, engineering systems, and workflows, allowing organizations to move AI from pilot projects into production.

TECHNIA helps turn this foundation into everyday operations. Through guidance, implementation, system integration, data migration, and certified training, we support organizations in building a scalable digital engineering environment. These initiatives are delivered through KPI led rollouts that connect strategic goals with daily engineering work. The result is practical use of generative AI, increased reuse, and measurable improvements in speed, cost, and quality.

CHIEF SOLUTIONS OFFICER, TECHNIA

"Organizations don’t buy “AI”; they buy outcomes – fewer errors, faster launches, stronger governance at lower total cost."

 

  • Fragmented product data is the primary barrier to scaling AI.
  • Disconnected workflows limit ROI and slow adoption.
  • Major opportunity: unify data, workflows, and governance into an AI-ready stack

Intelligent design for Aerospace & Defense 

AI-supported engineering in aerospace and defense

Aerospace and Defense companies operate in highly complex engineering environments where safety, performance, and compliance are essential. At the same time, development timelines are getting shorter, and demands for sustainable aircraft, advanced defense systems, and resilient supply chains continue to grow. Traditional engineering approaches are no longer enough. AI capabilities in aerospace and defense design help teams explore options earlier, manage complexity, and move faster across design, engineering, and lifecycle stages, while improving quality and reducing risk, time, and cost.

 

As structures and systems become more complex, traditional design approaches reach their limits. AI-powered capabilities in CATIA support new ways of working across design, engineering, and validation.
